Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Jaconé over the next couple of weeks.

Things kick off pretty quiet, mate. That Thursday afternoon (2nd July) is a write-off – small, weak wind-affected junk. Not worth paddling out. You’ll have to wait until Friday morning (3rd July) for a tiny window. It’s only 2ft of SSW swell but the wind goes glassy. It’s surfable, but you’ll be working hard for small, ordinary waves. That afternoon gets blown out by strong onshore wind, so don't bother.

Saturday (4th July) stays a bit of a struggle with messy cross-onshore wind, though the swell picks up a touch. The energy is getting moderate though (594). Come Sunday (5th July), the swell bumps up over 6ft (7ft and 8ft) from the SSW with onshore wind. The combined energy is getting serious (1348 – 1426), but the conditions are too rough and the size is pushing into expert territory with the wind all wrong. It’s a pass.

Now, Monday morning (6th July) is when it gets interesting. The wind goes glassy from the east with a clean 6ft S swell. That’s a decent drop in size, with very good surf conditions on the cards. The water temp is a mild 73°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The energy is moderate-strong (935). That Monday morning is a standout window for an intermediate surfer – clean lines and no wind bump.

Tuesday (7th July) keeps the clean theme going with light offshore NE wind in the morning and a 3ft S swell that has some lovely long period (16 seconds). That’s a proper groundswell, and with offshore wind, it’ll set up nicely at the reef. The energy is still solid (759). The standout on Tuesday is the morning session.

After that, we hit a bit of a lull through Wednesday and Thursday (8th & 9th July) with onshore winds messing up the form. Friday (10th July) morning shapes up well again with a clean 5ft SSW swell and offshore ENE wind. That’s another good call.

Into the second week, the surf stays small but clean for a few days – Saturday and Sunday (11th & 12th July) offer clean small waves in the 2ft to 4ft range with light winds and clean conditions. Good for a longboard or a grovel session.

The real highlight of the whole outlook, though, is Wednesday 15th July through to Friday 17th July. We get a sustained run of solid, powerful SSE groundswell. Wednesday morning (15th July) has a glassy 8ft SSE swell – that is a serious swell (1610 energy), and with glassy conditions, that’s excellent for experienced surfers only. Thursday morning (16th July) drops slightly to 7ft but has a solid offshore NE wind at 12 mph, keeping it clean and critical. This whole stretch from Wednesday the 15th to Friday the 17th delivers the best combination of size, clean wind, and long period (12-13 seconds). If you're an experienced surfer, circle Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th July as the true standouts.

Keep in mind, the water temp is about average for now, and as we go further out, things can shift, but the models are lining up nicely. Stay keen.

Rusty.
